Vision and Quick Victories

Hi, guys. Are you enjoying weekend?


1, Leader need to change their goal if there are chance even though it is a little one.
2, Doing something create impulse, and it will be linked success.
3, Leader have to think about not only their own need but also organization/ balancing is important.
4, Establishing role is important to organization, and It creates order.
5, Leader need to pay attention to organization's member in order to keep their motivation/ give task


These are what I learned in this chapter, Vision and Quick Victories.
Leader need to use some techniques at the same time. It is hard to do it, but leader have to acquire this skill so as to take control of organization, and they can achieve common goal.


About the Log,
I would like to answer question1.

What is your personal leadership vision?
Providing feeling of safety with  organization to get together for common goal. If Shakleton were unreliable man, crews wouldn't have obeyed him and survived. In order to give relief, leader need confidence, rational thinking and don't be selfish. Which leader do you like confident person or lack of it? I think showing confidence is effective to give feeling of safety. Also, indecision makes organization fear. Organization require decisive decision. Also, leader who is self-seeking may makes members in organization disconcert. It creates dividing people and can't have common value.

I chose the "relief", because I felt I don't want to entrust myself to unreliable leader. I think relief is fundamental for trust leader. Without it, people wouldn't  have the same goal such as Shakleton and crews did.

A sense of safety, is one of the key for the leadership, I think!

The Shackleton Saga

I enjoyed this chapter. As Ken said in the last class, Shackleton's decision change was good. If he had kept  challenge, he and crews would have died. I learned leader have to consider not only own-self but also organization.


"This partnership, born of deep respect and shared hardship."(Line6, page 4)
I like this phrase and think exactly right.

I respect all of my friends in some way.
They always game me lots of ideas and values, and I also feel they are caring for me. Thorough these things, I feel I wanna cherish them.

Also, when I think about "hardhsip", I and my friends have worked on together for, for example, ELP, job, soccer practice, festival etc.
These experiences made us deepen the bonds with.

Anyway, I could read it with interests.
 Im looking forward to reading next chapter!

Introduce myself, about Preface and First impression.

Hi, everyone. Im Kanoko.I already talked about the reason why I chose this corse. I loved Ken's ARW class in last term. Additionally, I was attracted to "Dynamic You". I thought it is a chance to change myself. Also, I would like to know what the leadership is, and what for. I'm looking forward to find new me. About Preface, log. I think people who want to achieve purpose need patience and trust comrade. I would like torespond the first log by using my experience. I have joined a sport team for 6 years as a captain.  First of all,team is difficult because various people are there and each of them have each opinion and ability. I gradually got frustrated and hard to control myself. However, I realized that we have same goal,and in order to achieve it, we did need corporation and I did need endurance and equanimity. After that,I tried to keep being calm and they got to work harder too. Through this experience, I learned leader need patience to achieve goal. Also I learned If people do so, they got to get along with companions. About the first impression. I enjoyed class and felt first impression can be changed by practice through eye contact, smiling, and hand shaking. Especially, story of handshaking was interesting. I didn't know that hand shaking can be expressed power position. I have felt that Im not good at meeting new people, but I would like to try with the skill which Ken told us!
